Random Monday : Be Christopher Columbus and Discover The New World
Arcadetown’s The New World is a resource management game which puts you in the shoes of a captain sailing from the Spain (The Old World) across the Atlantic to the New World (the American continents) and emulating Christopher Columbus’ first vovage to the West Indies in August 1492.
This game will test your ability to handle unforeseen events like heavy storms, rats infesting the cargo hold and other Things That Happen™ on an epic journey like this and you will have to juggle the very limited time points between the different tasks needed to keep your ship seaworthy and the crew’s morale to prevent them from erupting into open mutiny, in order to reach the New World alive.
By consulting your daily logbook, you can make better decisions on your priorities for the next few days. Judicious timing for food rationing is also essential due to the lack of supplies on the smaller ships : while ordering half rations for the crew lowers morale, it still beats forcing them to sail on zero rations in the hold.
Three different types of ships – the caravel, nao and carrack – await you in the docks to cater to different playing styles – the caravel is fast but carries less crew and stores while the heavy carrack is the exact opposite. The other ship, the nao, is somewhere between the two. Personally, I’ve only completed the 3,000+ miles voyage with the caravel by pushing ahead as aggressively as possible by emphasizing navigation, sail maintenance and crew morale at the expense of hull maintenance and crew health.
